Its not a new controller, its just a clip on where your headset normally goes.

to be honest it would be awesome if i have ever used msn messenger but i dont, at all, ever. i dont use any kind of instant messaging stuff. however, for anyone who does this definitely looks cool.

I still can't get over how hilarious my controller would look with that thing attached along with the grey headset plug sticking out the back. HUGE!

I'll get it, simply because I've got a lot of friends who I'd like to keep in touch with, but largely can't be bothered as the software keyboard, even though I mastered it a long time ago, is far too fiddly.

World of Warcraft...coming to a 360 near you... Blizzard did say, they needed a keyboard and mouse solution to port over WoW to 360...well this is half of that. Right Analog can still be used as a mouse.

I hope that means it'll be cheaper than a controller because that's the only way I will go anywhere near it.

If WOW comes to 360 I'll crap my pants!!! I just hope the PC character are exportable.

As For the controller not bad as long as the thing isn't too heavy. I personally don't care but some people are sticklers for small controllers due to there small girly hands!! Hahaha (If you are a female take not offense woman's hands should be small. unless they are 6'8". Women palming basketballs not Sexy, Not Sexy at all!!! :cry:)

It better come in black and white instead of just white, for starters.  Then, the update better be compatible with other clients like Trillian.  I know a grand total of around 70 people and none of them use WLM.

For those that communicate a lot I think it could be a very good product.  Personally not for me, I like my controller to be the best for game playing, texting and things such as that don't interest me at this point in time.  And if it does change at some point in time this could well be a controller that I could use and enjoy for all aspects of gaming and texting.

It's not a new controller, it's an attachment that plugs in where the headset does, and has a pass-through so you can use a headset as well.

bleh! when an update cums where i can play my old ps2 games on a 360 then i'll be jumpin for joy! (i know, playin ps2 games on a 360 is like puttin the words george bush and good president together, it'll never happen)

tribalTox

Lol um, that made no sense but whatever.

 

I truly think this opens alot of exciting doors for the 360.  Alot of MMO developers might look at ports because of this handy device.

You are right Systemlord.  I had not thought of the possibility of MMO developers looking at this and what they might think.  Perhaps this is something that Microsoft has discussed with them already to see what it would take for them to port over or create a new MMO especially for the 360.  If that would be the case then I would be up for it.  That is one game genre I had not thought of, good thinking.

This will also be great for RTS games -making hot keys, squad posturing etc.

Everyone is so focused on the IM piece. I think that is only a piece of its intentions.

I don't like IMing, but I use the keyboard to name spells and potions in Oblivion, so I'd consider getting this thingy, if reasonably priced. I won't pay more than $20 for it.

I don't believe Microsoft would let they do that. It is an accessory, and that would give people in multiplayer an advantage over those who didn't own the add-on. And we all know about Microsoft's motto about choice... they're not going to force anything on us (taking the HD-DVD for example), so I'm not sure this will have any other uses.

Microsoft I want my mouse support already. I want to be able to use the controller in my left hand to walk and in my right hand my cool mouse, like I play FPS on my pc. Anyone play that way? Gamepad in left hand with the right side on your leg to balance it and the mouse in right hand? it is really cool being able to walk with analogy and shoot with the mouse.

Good point but I think that when a game like WoW comes to town and needs its functionality they won't worry about that too much. I also suspect that droves of gamers couldn't care less either for the extra spend. It all depends on the game.

Agreed. IF WoW comes out. But you also have games such as Age of Conan coming, which could probobly benefit from it. Thinking about C&C Tyberium, I doubt they would even though it could really use hotkeys (although that will be out before the add-on anyway).
